Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning

FYI:  it really doesn't.  When Shadow was about 2 he jumped into the deep end of the pool at our apartment even though I told him to wait a minute for me.  I had my shirt over my head and only heard the splash.  Looked around and didn't see him... and then I did.  He was under the water, not making a sound or waving his arms.  I hit the concrete hard and drug him out of the water by his hair (I can't swim - but the asshats who were with me could, but just stood there watching).  He was fine, but I had nightmares for weeks that I'd lost him to the pool.  Scariest thing that child has ever done to me.  So far.
